which reaches the suprabrachial area, just behind the middle. 
Membrane dark fuscous, a spot at the base of the fourth apical 
area, an irregular interrupted band across the middle, the apex 
rather widely, and a small roundish spot on the apex of the nerve 
dividing the first apical area from the second, white. Breast and

Head, pronotum, and seutellum yellow, with dark markings as

generally transversely suboval and somewhat irregular in outline, 
and the double stripe on the hind part of the pronotum is more or 
less suffused over the disc. Elytra greenish white, the areas a little 
darker and narrowly margined with fuscous, the costal spot nearest 
the base obsolete, and the one beyond the middle divided by the 
pale nerve, which separates the costal area from the subcostal. 
Membrane dark fuscous, a spot in the fourth apical area, a 
bisinuate band across the middle, the apex very narrowly, and a 
large roundish spot on the first apical area, white. Breast and 
abdomen black, hind margins of the segmenis of the latter yellow. 
Legs yellow: f; hind tibie narrowly black at the apex, some 
fuscous spines as well as pale ones on the outer side, first joint of 
hind tarsi black, pale on the basal third or a little more, third joint 
fascous at the extreme apex; ? generally with the extreme apex 
of the hind tibize and tarsi fuscous, but very frequently the basal 
joint of the hind tarsi is fuscous at the apex. Length, 33 mm.
